To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lno

' citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Los Angeles, county of Los Angeles,

State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Vehicle-Windows,

of which the following is a specification.

My invention primarily relates to an auto top and consists in the peculiar construction" of the metal frame which surrounds the glass of the window, and its manner of attachment to the material which formsthe In the drawings forming a part of this application Figure 1 shows a fragment of the top of the vehicle viewed from the inside. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1." Fig. 3 is an enlarged edge view. of a frag ment of lining of the two members ofthe or'strip13 which for distinction ,willz-be' frame. Fig. 4 is a section on the line of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail.

Referring to the drawings, 10 is the outer j member of the top of the vehicle and 11 is the lining thereof. My improved frame consists of an outer member 12 of sheet' metal which is stamped out and pressedto each having a lining, said-lining having the desired shape. The edges of member12 are turned over and hold a sheet metal plate called the lining. v In this lining are punched holes 14 and the metal is pressed outwardly and threaded for the're'ceptionscrew 15.

. The inner member :16 of the frame consists of sheet metal whichis stam ed out and pressed to the desired shape. 4 he edges of member 16 are turned over and hold a sheet, metal plate or strip 17 which for-distinction will be called the l'ining; Inylining 17 are 1 punched holes 18 and the metal is pressed outwardly and forms around the hole a. ledge 20 which is preferably higher at. one side than at the other, thereby forming a) lock in; thenature offa'lock-washer to hold"; screws 15 from accidentally turning when the parts are assembled. 1 1n the 'outer edges of linings 13 and 17- are small sections, hich'ff pressed alternately outwardly and inwar 1y to formlugs-{2li as bestshov'vn in Fig. 3.1; These-lugsare soj formed that an inwardly projectin lug of ,lining 13 re 'sters'with an outwar 1y 'jecting lug o linin 17 and'the adjacent out wardly projecting v ugs of lining13 register.

are deformed. by bein prowith the inwardly projecting'lugs of lining 17. Holes 22 are provided iiimember 16 for the pa age therethrough of screws 15.

p y *In assembling a hole would be cut in the M. HARVEY, a'

material of the top so thatthe inner edge would register with the inner ed e of the frame and holes would be punche in such material tore ister with the screw holes of" .the inner mem er. The inner member ofthe frame would be] positioned and held in place by screwsplaced in the inner member.

' The glass pane 23 would then be positioned.

The outer member of the frame would then be secured by the screws. To save metal I make the lining members of the frame in two parts and of sheet steel. The outer parts of the frame may be very light and of any desired metal that will present-a neat and attractive appearance as the strain all comes on the lining members. These lin- Jing members could'becast, but stamping is cheaper and better.

durable frame-is provided. ther means may. be used to connect the members of the 'frame .as smallbolts not shown.

I Having described my invention'I claim.

J LA metal 1 window frame for vehicles vBy this construction. a neat cheap, and

comprising'an outer and an inner member lugs along the outer edges, said lugs alterjnately projecting in opposite directions;

and means to connect said members.

2. A 'metal window frame for Vehicles comprising an, outer and an inner member each having. a lining, said linings having holes therelnwith the portions 'siirroundmg said holes pressed, outwardly, the holes in the lining'of the outer member being threaded .and the'projecting portions of the liningof the inner member being formedv to; produce a lock-washer effect, and screws adapted to connect saidmembers.

3.-A'- metal window' frame for, vehicles comprising an outerzand anlinner member each, having-aiming, said linings having of the P lining fof the inneriinember having lock washer ledgesg andscrews adapted to connect said members.

In witness that I claim the fore oing I is 11thv have'hereunto subscribedmy name 1;
